A/N: This is after the honeymoon, and after Bella has been changed, which means Renesme's in the picture now, and Jacob has imprinted on Renesme, which means he's here too.

We were on our way back to the Cullen house in Forks. We had just finished a concert in Seattle that had been sold out. Edward was driving the Volvo, I was in the passenger seat holding his hand, and Renesme, our daughter, was in the backseat. The rest of the Cullens were in other cars that carried all of the equipment from the concert.

My phone rang and I flipped it open, glancing at the caller ID absentmindedly, but I didn't recocnise the number.

"Hello?" I said into the receiver.

"Isabella Cullen?" asked a female voice from the other end of the line.

"Speaking." I was getting confused, and Edward was looking at me, no doubt wondering what the call was all about. I knew he could hear the whole conversation with his vampire hearing, and, thankfully, Renesme was asleep in the backseat, so I kept my voice down, so as not to wake her.

"Mrs. Cullen. I have some bad news." She said.

"Go on." I was nervous now, and I gripped Edward's hand tighter.

"It's your father. Charlie Swan. I'm sorry, but he had a heart attack about a half hour ago."

"Why didn't I hear about this sooner?" I snapped at her. I was sure Charlie would be fine, I mean they could give him bypass surgery.

"I tried to reach you, but I couldn't get through on your home phone, and I'm guessing you had your cell phone turned off."

"Yes. Tell me, is my father okay?"

"No, ma'am. He's struggling. We want to do surgery, but he won't let us, not until he gets to see you. But I'm afraid that it might be too late to give him the surgery if we wait, but we can't do the surgery unless he says so."

"I'll be there shortly."

I snapped the phone shut swiftly, without even waiting to hear her response.

Edward stepped on the gas and we were at the hospital in five minutes. We rushed in, Edward carrying Renesme while I went to the nurse's station and found out where Charlie was.

As soon as we got the his floor, I told the nurse in his room who I was and she immediately let me through, but Edward and Renesme weren't allowed in at the moment.

When I saw Charlie lying there, I stiffled a sob. I felt as if being strong was what I needed to do for Charlie at the moment. He looked so frail.

"Dad, I'm here," I said quietly, walking up to his bed slowly and knelling down beside him.

"Hey Bells." He said, his voice weak.

"Dad, listen to me, you need to get the surgery."

"No, Bells, it's my time to go. I'm leaving this world. I'm sorry."

The nurse had let Edward and Renesme in as I started to sob. Edward settled Renesme down with Charlie on the bed. He held her close as she cried, her little hands clutched around his neck.

"Bells, do me a favor before I go, would you?" Charlie asked.

"Anything, Dad, anything."

"Sing me a song."

So I started singing, it was a song that I had never even heard, that I hadn't written yet, but it flowed from my lips, and it was so beautiful that I knew I wouldn't forget it.

"Wind blowing on my face,
Sidewalk flying beneath my bike,
A five year old's first taste of what freedom's really like,
He was running right beside me,
His hand holding on the seat,
I took a deep breath and hollered as I headed for the street,

"You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go.
Oh I think I'm ready to do this on my own,
It's still a little bit scary,
But I want you to know,
I'll be okay now, Daddy,
You can let go.

"I was standing at the altar,
Between the two loves of my life.
To one I've been a daughter,
And to one I soon would be a wife.
When the preacher asks "Who gives this woman?"
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears,
He kept holding tightly to my arm till I whispered in his ear.

"You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go,
Oh, I think I'm ready to do this on my own,
It still feels a little bit scary,
But I want you to know,
I'll be okay now, Daddy,
You can let go.

"It was killing me to see the strongest man I ever knew,
Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room.
'You know he's only hanging on for you.'
That's what the night nurse said.
My voice and heart were breaking as I crawled up in his bed,
And said.

"You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go,
Your little girl is ready to do this on my own.
It's gonna be a little bit scary,
But I want you to know,
I'll be okay now, Daddy.
You can let go,
You can let go."

"That was pretty, Bells. Thank you." Charlie said.

"You're welcome, Daddy." I said. I then crawled up into Charlies bed, the side that Renesme wasn't on, and repeated the end of the song.

"You can let go now, Daddy, you can let go. Your little girl is ready to do this on my own. It's gonna be a little bit scary, but I want you to know, I'll be okay now, Daddy. You can let go. I love you, Charlie. Goodbye." I gave him a kiss on the cheek as I heard Renesme sobbing on the other side of my father. "You can let go now, Daddy."

"I love you, too. Renesme, I love you, baby girl, Edward, you too. Goodbye. I love you, Bella." Then he closed his eyes for the last time to go to his final resting place. A place that I would never be able to join him.

"You can let go." I whispered, to myself now, because my father would not hear me say it to him ever again.
